Description: | A copper or copper-alloy (bronze) axe of early Bronze Age (possibly Beaker period) date. The object is a flat axe of simple form. It has a rounded blade measuring 37.3mm wide by 2.2mm thick. The width of the axe tapers gradually from the blade to 11.2mm at the squared-off proximal (attachment) end. The maximum thickness of the object is towards the centre where it measures 4.3mm. Both surfaces are slightly convex. There are no flanges, stop ridges, or evidence of any joints and is is probable that the axe was made using a one piece mould. It measures 78.5mm long and weighs 34.43g. The surfaces and edges are worn and corroded. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -2200
